the art of gathering
welcome, I’m Glad You’re Here
the table is set
a table set with story,
a field sown with wonder,
a place to trace the thread of grace through our ordinary days.
Here, I gather what stirs beneath the surface:
the ache of longing,
the beauty of becoming,
the mystery woven into morning light
May you find here
a gentle rhythm,
a sacred pause,
a reminder that you are not alone
on the way.

Finding Stillness and Peace Amid the Weight of Grief: Embracing God’s Love Through Discontent and Self-Compassion
There are moments when the weight of life catches us off guard, often revealing emotions we’ve set aside. This week, as I reflected on that weight, I felt an invitation to pause, to truly see and feel what I had been brushing aside with ‘get it together’ thoughts and self-criticism. In these moments, I sense God’s gentle call: *Come and see.* See the ways He loves me, even in my disappointment and discontent. Here’s to letting go of unrealistic expectations, embracing God’s love, and finding strength in vulnerability. In that place of quiet honesty, I remember that I am held, safe to grieve, grow, and become the person I was always meant to be.
